Windows 7 internet not working

I am running Yosemite with Parallels desktop 10. This is a new iMac machine with 8 gigs memory. I am getting a yellow triangle in the windows network box. I have removed the network card adapter and restarted Windows and it installs a new driver. The internet connects for a bit then disconnects and I get the yellow triangle again. I have uninstalled Norton from the Mac side and restarted the computer. When windows come up it connects with the internet and within 5 mins the yellow triangle comes back. I have reinstalled parallels tools and get the same thing. I have no idea as to why Windows is not connecting. The mac side has internet with no problems. I sure hope some of you tech guys can help me.

JFYI:
Parallels Support Team fixed the issue using following steps:
1. Start Windows virtual machine -> click on Start and type in the "Search" box "cmd" -> on the top of the list please right click on the "Command prompt" and choose run as administrator
2. Type in CMD

ipconfig /flushdns
and hit Enter
3. click windows button ---> Control panel ---> under Network and Internet click View network status and tasks
4. upper left click change adapter settings --> right click on your connection (Local area connection is if you're wired, Wireless Network Connection if wireless)
5. click Properties -- >click to highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 ---> click Properties button --> click Use the following DNS server addresses and in the boxes...
please check this:
open "Network Connections" -> right-click on Network Adapter -> Properties ->"Internet Protocl TCP/IP" -> Properties and make sure that "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is enabled.
